Journal of the American Chemical Society

Gremlich (Optical Spectroscopy Laboratory, Novartis Pharma AG) and Yan (analytical chemistry, ChemRx Advanced Technologies, Inc.) supply chemical and structural information for identifying and characterizing biological molecules. The 13 contributions provide a thorough introduction to the new methodologies in infrared and Raman instrumentation as well as to their biological applications for future use in both academic and industrial environments. They integrate the biological targets with research experience in order to discuss topics such as the variety of uses for vibrational optical activity and vibrational spectroscopic mapping and imaging; clinical applications; the advantages obtained by time-resolved step scan, surface-enhanced, and imaging approaches; the latest software developments affecting biomedical diagnosis, such as artificial neural networks; and others. Contains b&w and color images and diagrams. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
